Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأُمَوِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ أَخِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُجَاهِدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ وَأَيْنَ الْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَخَرَّ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَإِنْ لَدَغَتْهُ دَابَّةٌ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهِ قَالَ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَلِمَةٌ مَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَوَّلَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي بِحَتْفِ أَنْفِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ قَعْصًا فَقَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْجَنَّةَ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, from Abu al-Abbas al-Umawi, from Ahmad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, from Yunus ibn Bukayr, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Atik, brother of Banu Salamah, from his father who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Whoever leaves his house as a warrior in the cause of Allah — then he clasped his three fingers — and where are the warriors in the cause of Allah? Whoever goes out in the cause of Allah and falls from his mount and dies, his reward is upon Allah. If a creature stings him and he dies, his reward is upon Allah. And whoever dies a natural death — he said: This is a phrase I never heard from any of the Arabs before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), meaning dying on his bed — his reward is upon Allah. And whoever is killed outright has earned Paradise.
